Learn More About Tattoo Removal
We offer multiple different lasers, each with their own purpose and processes. This includes the Harmony XL Pro, Alma ClearLift, and Laser Dye-VL. Although different, they all have one thing in common—encouraging outstanding results that you’ll love.
Harmony XL Pro is the technology we will use for your tattoo removal. It’s approved to treat more than 65 different skin concerns. This includes skin texture, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, sun spots, spider veins, varicose veins, acne, scarring, and psoriasis. We primarily use the Harmony XL Pro’s modalities to remove a wide range of tattoo colors and depths.
Alma ClearLift is an extension of the Harmony XL Pro. It’s especially helpful in treating the more sensitive areas on your body, such as your neck and face. Like its parent device, it also focuses on breaking down pigment, leading to clearer skin.
Dye-VL is another application of the Harmony Pro XL system. It also uses precise pulses of light energy to remove tattoos. The pigment, or tattoo, in your skin absorbs the light, damaging the ink and causing it to fade away.
Our ranged and advanced tattoo removal technology not only ensures effective fading over time, but also prioritizes your comfort and safety during the entire process. Depending on your tattoos size, color, and location, our skilled technicians will tailor the treatment plan for you.
Each session for tattoo removal in North Liberty can take 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size and area of your unwanted ink. We invite you to bring whatever you need to keep yourself comfortable and help the time pass. A lot of patients download tv episodes, listen to music, or listen to their audiobooks during their sessions.
There are a few simple steps to take before your tattoo removal in North Liberty.
- If you need to go outside, avoid excess sun exposure.
- Do not use tanning beds and avoid using sunless tanning creams for at least 4 weeks prior to your appointment.
- Avoid using topical retinoids and acne creams.
- Remove any makeup, creams, and oils.
After your tattoo removal session, we recommend that you avoid activities that may inflict injury to the treatment area. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF30 or higher) and ice any sensitive skin as needed. You may also take anti-inflammatory medications if you’re experiencing discomfort post-treatment.
Additionally, after each removal session, your body will continue to eliminate the fragmented ink particles naturally—leading to progressively clearer skin. With our state-of-the-art devices and expertise, you can feel confident in moving forward with removing your unwanted tattoos and embrace a fresh start.
There is no downtime associated with our tattoo removal in North Liberty. This means you can come into our wellness center, receive treatment, and carry on with the rest of your day. It is important to note, however, that it may take several weeks for your skin to recover from treatment. Please keep this in mind as you plan any activities throughout the progression of your removal journey.
